What heads???

Ok im stuck i have a limited budget and am looking to get the most bang for the buck. i have a stock LQ4 bottom end and i have a set to 862 5.3L heads and a set of 317 6.0L heads. I would be willing to trade or sell those to get one good set.

My question is is what head would give me the best BANG? I would not mind milling them go get the compression up some

Mill the 317 .030 and use ls2 Head gaskets. They flow just as well as 243/799s
